The point of the presentation was to answer questions the investigators have received from the media and others about how an acccident like this could happen. They did so by using photos, a chart, and a map. I'd be willing to bet that 99% of the posters on this forum have no actual knowledge of the physical aspects of the area where this incident happened, or what the engineers of both trains could see and how soon they could see it. Now they do.

Are we talking about the same thing? I don't see anyone parading around in any of the photos. Where do you see that?
As an aside, a Metrolink engineer was removed from service Friday by SCRRA after the phone records of the deceased engineer that had been obtained by the NTSB revealed that the two had allegedly been in contact by cell phone while both were on duty.
